Cast

Production

The film was announced by Yash Raj Films in September 2015 as Chopra's directorial comeback, scheduled for a December 2016 release.[5] In October 2015, it was announced that Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor would be cast in the lead roles.[6][7] In December 2015, Yash Raj Films announced that the music of the film will be produced by Vishal-Shekhar and Javed Akhtar, both of whom would return to collaborate with the banner after roughly 9 years.[8]

In March 2016, there were reports of Singh facing scheduling conflicts with Yash Raj Films after he was signed by Excel Entertainment for Zoya Akhtar's next directorial film scripted by Farhan Akhtar and Reema Kagti.[9] Singh had earlier allotted both Q2 and Q3 of Fiscal 2016 to Befikre (including its Paris and Mumbai schedules) however, Akhtar's coming-of-age, travel-diary Project requires Singh to film across all the 29 states of India, in the same period.[10] As on mid-March, both YRF and Excel were reported to be working towards a time-settlement for Singh's dates for the year 2016.[11]
